Hi Denise,
Very good questions. Thank you!
Regarding the sling, yes, leave it in the pot until you remove the lid. It will slide out easily once the loaf is set. I wasn't aware of the heat generated by the KitchenAid grain mill. Some heat is normal during the milling process-we also keep an eye on it here at King Arthur. I suppose that it all gets heated eventually as it's baked but, it is good to be aware of these things. Fresh grits are wonderful! You might try toasting them some in a dry pan before hand-it adds a nice toasty flavor.
Best,
Martin
